Since this is the Sugarbush thread, anyone know if “$30 Thursdays” is still a thing, or is that done and gone?
Its now $49 Thursdays and it starts 1/5. Last year it was $40.83 Thursdays. I still miss the holiday specials of yesteryear, even moreso that I have to pay for tickets now ($5.50 Christmas / $14 Valentines Day / $17 St Patty's / $30 Thursdays).

Gatehouse lost power around 11:30 last night and shut down the Castlerock Pub. Was a fun time.

That was crazy. The Detonators were rockin and then Boom! no power. Power was out all night not just in the Gate house but all of south village, Snow creek and the other buildings except Claybrook which appeared to have generator backup or was no a different feed. Delayed start today while they shake out any issues.

There are no issues reported at Mt Ellen. Usual start times for all lifts. Northridge was working fine yesterday so I assume it will be fine today. Maybe. ;-)

Keep the faith. Remember the winter of the Valentine‘s Day, President’s weekend and Easter storms in late April. Winter didn’t start that year until February as I recall. Despite the ups and downs I have enjoyed my first 34 days. We’ll see what the next few days bring. Hopefully cool enough to get the Snowmakers working again.

Awesome run that was. I think it snowed St Pattys Day as well that year. On the less inspiring days I view it sometimes as going to the gym. Gets me in shape to ski the good days a little better.

It sure did...that was back when I only visited SB once a year for a long weekend and St Patty's happened to be the weekend I was there that year. I remember it very vividly!
